Draft the security package: financing statements, mortgages and pledges

Key facts

Human involvement
YellowClose supervision
How AI is used
Build a collateral table from the term sheet and the searches the lawyer supplies, and list which filing office each item points to. Do not complete a financing statement.
What the lawyer must review
Personal-property security is UCC Article 9 as enacted in the state, not the Australian PPSA. A financing statement is sufficient only if it names the debtor, names the secured party or a representative, and indicates the collateral (U.C.C. § 9-502(a)). Fixture, timber and as-extracted filings need the extra real-property details in § 9-502(b). The debtor’s name follows § 9-503, and states choose between the official alternatives for an individual’s name, including whether the unexpired driver’s licence controls. Real-property mortgages are state law. Read both enactments before the package is signed.
